COTTON MILLS IN THE SOUTH.

The Charleston News aud Couri.
er is Of opinion that "bright as has
been for many years past the pro-
speet OF ultimately bringing nearly
all the cotton manufactures in this
country to the neighborhood Of
the fields where the cotton grows,
the prospect is better now than it
ever was before.n And the News
and Courier can speak aathorita-
lively on this subject, as its State,
South Carolina, has made a magni-
tieent success in cotton manufae-
turing, has established a number
of new mills of late aud greatly
extended the field of their opera.
tions.
One ofthe advantages the South
is now enjoying over its principal
competitor in this business, New
England, is in respect to the price
of coal. The fact is now beng
recognized that mills can be run
as cheaply by steam as Dy water,
the great majority of the new mills
are operating by steam power.
This is not because this. section is
lacking in water power, for the
central States of the South have
Ipower enough to run all the facto.
ries in the Union, but because it
is found cheaper to run cotton.
mills by steam, if they are of large
size or capacity, and most of the
new mills are large. As q matter
of fact, steam is taking the place
of water power in nearly all the
new factories. At Fall River, for
instance, which became a great
cotton manufacturing city because
of the water power it possesses,
all but one or two of the smaller
mills, in total of fifty, are opera.
ted by steam. Every mill in Lowell
has steam-engine, and the great
| bulk of the goods are manufactur
ed by steam.
Here, again, the South, on &C.
count of the great development it
has latterly seen in the coal indus.
try, enjoys an advantage over
New England. Not only is the
cotton used in the industry much
cheaper in the South, but the coal
also, and these two items make q
material difference in the. cost OF
production, without taking into
consideration the far cheaper 10.
Dor. Coal is half as cheap IN the
mineral belt of the South as IN
New England, and hence for mills
operated in this section the cost
is infinitely less for this important
item. How much less it is fol
cotton, labor, freight, handling
and transportation, We have al
ready shown. Even IN those por
tions of the South not included ii
the mineral section, there is an ad
vantage of from one.half to one
! third of the cost for coal-an ad
vantage that must, in the course
of time, give to the Southern
, States nearly all this industr,
which New England, until lately
monopolized. Each year the Soutl
is securing an additional adyan

KILLED A PET.
A T~enderfoot Hunter Shoots a
Tame Antelope.
The Emigrant Finds Game Near
Buffalo BiIrs Home.
He Is BrutaIIy Beaten BY a Ne
braska Cowboy.

On the belated west bound train last
evening was an emigrant from Massachu
sets, who was cursing the manners and
customs of the West loud, long, earnest
ly, elegantly and forcibly.
The most noticeable thing about the
tenderfoot was a pair of beautiful black
eyes, a badly bruised nose, an immense
revolver and a belt filed with cartridges.
1t was the young mans nose which
caused the unnatural appearance in what
might otherwise have been a quite pre-
sentable co%untenancc.
From the conductor a LEADER reporter
learned the particulars of the incident
which led TO the Disagreement of the
bean eaters facial features.
1t was at North Platte, Neb., that the
delegate from the oriant collided with the
fist Of a fellow man. The curious traveller
was on the ground and running towards
Buffalo Bills ranch at that point before
the train came to a standstill. No doubt
he anticipated meeting a brass band of In
dams while enroute to the ranch as he
carried the huge revolver in his hand
and cautiously peered across the prairie
as he rapidly advan ed toward Bison
Williams summer retreat, evidently de-
termined to obtain a good view of that ia
nous resort, if possible. He was within
perhaps $50 yards of the villa when he
met one of the tame ante
lope which Craze about the
ranch. The timid creature was
looked upon as natural prey by the visitor
to the wild West. He balted until the
u~nsusDicious animal had approached to
within a few feet of where he stood, ner-
vous and trembling. With a single shot
from his weighty fire arm the pilgrim
MORALLY wounded the pet. The valorous
hunter was still placing leaden missiles into
the fallen carcass of his game when a cow
boy who had heard the report of the re-
volver while eating breakfast at Cody's
ranch rode up and dismounted.
Without a word of warning or request
for an explanation that privileged citizen

of that unsophisticated hunter. Accord
ing to the report of eye witnesses who are
vouched for by the conductor, it was one
of the bloodiest and most brutal f~isticuffs
that ever occurred on the continent. The
cowboy simply paralyzed the antelope
hunter, and it is safe to say hat the lat
ter will diligently inquire as to the owner
ship Of any supposed game which he
happens to sight in the future.
Just before the train left this point a
reporter met the gentleman who had the
misfortune to make what he called a very
natural error. He stated hat his name
was Hugh j. Mcbride. and hat he was
employed in a Boston piano factory. The
gentleman asserted that his assailant took
an unmanly advantage of him, and that
he would, upon his return from Califor-
MIA, force the pugilist to repent OF his
rash action.
